Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect

Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect

"The Global Centre’s mission is to help transform the principle of the responsibility to protect into a cause for action in the face of mass atrocities. Founded by leading figures in government and academia, as well as by International Crisis Group, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam International, Refugees International, and WFM-Institute for Global Policy, the Centre recognizes that this emerging norm needs to be broadly explained, clarified, defended from willful misunderstanding, and fleshed out to serve as the basis for practical action. "
